Police: 1 arrested in 1 of 2 Philly sex assaults

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police in Philadelphia say they have arrested one person and are seeking others in connection with a pair of sexual assaults on the first day of the "Budweiser Made In America" festival over the weekend.

A police spokeswoman said a woman met a man at the event shortly after midnight Saturday and asked to use his cellphone, and he said he lived nearby and she could use his home phone. But authorities allege that once inside the residence, she was sexually assaulted. A 26-year-old man was arrested.

At about 6:30 p.m. Saturday, police said a 24-year-old woman flagged down what she believed to be a taxi and was assaulted by a man in the back seat, robbed and forced out of the vehicle in south Philadelphia. No arrests were reported.
